In the
seventies they were far ahead of their time. There is no doubt
that many bands are influenced by Uriah Heep. Many personal
changes and mismanagement caused the end of their Heydays to
quickly.

But see
here, the band lead by guitarist Mick Box hits back for the
first time in 10 years.

This
comeback sounds quite surprising. The songs go back to the old
days of classic albums like Look at Yourself and Demons and
Wizards. The huge added instrumentations are back and Box uses
his wah wah pedal enthousiasticly again. The biggest surprise
thoug are the brilliant songs, and the enormous power and
wonderful vocals by Bernie Shaw. With producer Mike Paxman on
the bridge Uriah Heep never sounds dull, the tens is there till
the very last note. It is a shame this band is not on Arrow
Rock.
